Evan Ware: The Quietest of Whispers, by Evan Ware
7 track album

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Sigh, I got “mid.” Thus, Merriam-Webster’s totally random, completely meaningless word assigner managed to speak to my deepest fears.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom when I was six.
The dinner party, the heart-extraction-cum-dipping-in-lava scene, and the drinking-the-blood-of-Kali all… left an impression…
